Urban Farming House / 2017. Syracuse, NY
The urban farming house is a concept for a public or low income housing option in Syracuse, NY. The first floor would contain indoor urban agriculture, which would produce food and income year-round, along with storage for the produce. The upper two floors contain living space and four bedrooms. Several of these homes would ideally be scattered around an impoverished neighborhood of Syracuse, with a central farmers market to sell produce to the community. The house pays for itself over time, as well as for the inhabitants' incomes.
